Grantland

Bill Simmons welcomes people to Grantland, which launched today:

Life will deliver a few moments when something substantial is about to happen, when you know it’s substantial, when you’ve done everything you could to prepare for the moment, but still, you just don’t know. And it would be foolish to pretend otherwise. I felt that way when I was getting married, when both of my kids were being born, when I graduated college, and incredibly, when I was standing in front of that stupid Carl’s Jr. Oh my God. There is no stopping this now. Please tell me this will turn out all right. You take a leap of faith with life. You inhale and exhale. You hope.

    I am especially excited about their reality TV fantasy league.

    I used to love reading the Sports Guy, but haven’t been into him as much lately. But this gets me excited about him again! The NYT had a big article on him a couple of weeks back. He definitely seemed ambivalent about this new venture.
